Chapter 4 The return of the seniors
All afternoon, Liang Yi was dealing with the children in the kindergarten. No matter how noisy and whistling the bear children were in her ears, she seemed to be in a transparent golden bell jar, isolated from the world.
The sound of "Emma" that Li Huan called her kept ringing in her ears, which was completely different from "Miss Liang".
The last time he called her by her name...... It was back in college seven or eight years ago. However, at that time, he often changed her English nickname "ee" without authorization, and he said that he preferred to call her differently from others.
At first, she felt that ee shouted strangely, because it was the same pronunciation as her Chinese name "η₯", she was embarrassed to let him call herself ee in public, only allowed him to call her so in private, and then he was used to calling her like this, she began to allow him to call himself in a different way - Xiao E, Ah E or simply shout only one E word, every time he called himself various "nicknames" in the tone of his boyfriend, she would always have an indescribable sweetness in her heart.
Today's "Emma" undoubtedly brought them closer and gave her a hint of a trip back in time. It's just that she still held back the throbbing in her heart at that time, and deliberately asked seriously: "What is the matter with Dr. Li looking for me?" If there's anything new about my grandmother's case, tell me now, I don't want my cousin to get involved. β
"It's nothing, in fact, I'm just stopping by to return your work permit. I'm going to have to go to the hospital for an operation. Li Huan glanced at his watch and said, "Then I'll go for surgery first, I just asked Teacher Ni, you get off work at 6 o'clock in the evening today, right, I'll pick you up then." Give me your current number. Liang Yi can't refuse, Li Huanyi's mobile phone has been thrown into her hands.
"You ......" Liang Yi felt overwhelmed, and obviously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her mouth, her mouth became very unfavorable, and she choked back what she wanted to say.
Thinking back to this, Liang Yi felt that he was simply stunned, he didn't push him out directly, and obediently handed over his mobile phone number.
What does Li Huanyi mean by this guy! Yesterday he was still a cold, one-eyed doctor, but today he has become a senior in the warm male department...... Do you want to renew your old relationship with her?
At this time, her mobile phone vibrate, it was Li Huanyi's WeChat friend application, she looked down, and instantly felt that her ears had regained hearing, and the noise of the children around her hurt her eardrums too much, which stimulated her body.
Originally, she didn't want to deal with Li Huanyi's friend's application, but she was shocked by the noisy environment and passed.
Just when she was scrambling to study how to revoke the application for passing a friend, Li Huanyi quickly sent a WeChat message - Emma, I completed the patient's operation, and it was a success. Now I'm going to pick you up, and then we're going to pick up your cousin, do you think?
Liang Yi was about to faint, why was all the plot taken away by Li Huan? She herself was like a puppet being pulled together, toyed with by him.
"I'll invite you to dinner another day, this time I have an appointment with my cousin, I haven't said hello to her yet, I want to ......bring a friend with me" Liang Yi was typing, ready to reject Li Huanyi, at this time Shen Ji's phone happened to come in again, she hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't send the message, and picked up Shen Ji's phone first.
"Hey, Shenji, are you at the kindergarten gate? I haven't gotten off work yet...... Wait, I have a friend I haven't seen in years who happened to invite me to dinner tonight, do you mind if my friend joins us? Male...... It shouldn't be a straight man, he's a doctor...... Billy, you're so happy? Okay, see you in a minute. β
Hung up the phone, Liang Yi's expression was a little complicated, she opened the WeChat dialog box with Li Huanyi with a little resentment, and pressed and held the delete button to delete the words she typed before, and quickly typed down the words "Okay" and sent it out.
Li Huan replied with a "handshake" expression in a second.
"Hi, cousin." Shen Ji's voice suddenly appeared above Liang Yi's head.
Liang Yi was bending over and squatting on the ground to help a little boy sort out his clothes and pants, she glanced at the top of her head, and said gently, "Shen Ji is here," she helped the little boy button all the buttons on his shirt, and gently told the child to go play, before slowly standing up and looking at Shen Ji.
"By the way, how did you get in? We have a very strict guard here. No one will be allowed to enter without a work permit from the kindergarten. Liang Yi shook the work card hanging around his neck at Shen Ji and teased.
"There was a bunch of parents waiting to pick up their children outside, and a lady seemed to be coming in to find someone to do something, and the doorman let her in, so I stood diagonally behind her and followed in. The doorman probably thought I was with her, so he didn't stop me. Shen Ji glanced at Liang Yi's class, and her eyes seemed to want to clean up the entire corner of the classroom.
"As a former journalist, you must have 'climbed over the wall' in order to interview some people before, right?" Liang Yi found that Shen Ji's eyes always stayed on the children running around in the class, and what was revealed in his eyes was not pity, but a kind of envy.
After 3 seconds, Shen Ji's reflex arc woke up, "Almost, when I was a reporter, I didn't want to interview anyone." The leader only looked at the results, so I had to play some tricks in order to complete the interview task. β
"So how did you know I was in this class? You haven't been here before. Liang Yi plans to continue to test how capable this 25-year-old cousin is.
"When I was talking to you just now, the sound of the children on your side can be described as deafening, I don't know how you managed not to be deaf among them, I felt that my eardrums hurt through ......the phone line," Shen Ji said and stroked the root of his ear, it seemed that the internal injury left in the ear canal during the call just now was still faintly painful, "So I went to the direction of the noisiest classroom, in fact, it was just luck, I didn't expect my luck to be quite good." At the top of the stairs on the second floor, I heard the sound of a war in your room, so I came to find it. Shin Ji smiled and made some of his inferences.
"I'm sorry, I'm hurting, does it matter if you want your ears?" Liang Yi pointed to the bench on the side, and said a little embarrassedly: "I only have a small bench to sit on here, so I have to wronged you." β
"It's okay, your friend is not a doctor later, why don't you trouble him to see if my eardrum has been punctured?" Without waiting for Liang Yi to react, Shen Ji continued: "I'm kidding, my ears are fine." β
Liang Yi and Shen Ji each sat on a bench, facing the group of carefree children who were jumping around the classroom.
"You deserve to be a so-called aristocratic kindergarten here, you see how happy those children are." Shinji Road.
Liang Yi said truthfully: "These children are not worried about food and clothing, and their parents will pay for what they want." However, very few parents come in person for parent-teacher meetings and parent-child activities organized by our school, usually grandparents, and most of the parents you just saw outside waiting to pick up their children are also nannies hired by the family. β
"I heard that the parents of these children are celebrities in the film and television industry or in the business world?" Shin Ji's tone is like that of a journalist peeling back the cocoon.
"Yes, this is the school rule, even if the average nouveau riche is rich, their children are not necessarily qualified to come and study here." Liang Yi lowered his head and threw a small leather ball rolled to his feet into the children's pile, "Shenji, don't look at them playing crazy now, the usual classes are full, and when I get off work, some of them will have dance lessons, some will take violin lessons, and some will go to concerts." I'm easier than they are. β
"Future elites and big stars will probably be born in them." Shen Ji slowly spat out a conclusion.
"Yes, there are a lot of child stars who have gone out of our school in the past, and our school is committed to cultivating future social elites. In the future, these children will basically be rich and handsome, white and beautiful. β
Liang Yi saw a polite smile on Shen Ji's face, and then she seemed to deliberately change the topic and said, "Eh, cousin, which friend of yours is having dinner with us tonight?" β
"Oh, you've seen that guy too, actually...... It's my grandmother's attending doctor, the doctor surnamed Li, you should have seen him in the hospital. Liang Yi said a little reluctantly.
Shen Ji thought for a moment, and raised his eyebrows upward, "It turned out to be him, the doctor with a very temperament." By the way, you just asked him to help grandma re-examine the cause of death, right? Are the test results available? β
This little girl...... It shouldn't be the onset of the reporter's occupational disease, I really like to get to the bottom of it, and I also pick out the key questions. Liang Yi had planned not to tell the family the real cause of her grandmother's death, she wanted to find out who was making trouble for herself first, but in the face of Shen Ji's sincere face, she was a little embarrassed to lie for a while.
"My grandmother was sick all over her life, and Dr. Li said that my grandmother died of illness." Liang Yi prayed in her heart, hoping that this answer would not be heard by Shen Ji, and in order to confuse the public, she added another sentence: "Why don't you let Zou Wei make a statement like this, I hope that the hot search that said that grandma died unexpectedly can be taken off the shelves." β
"I don't need to make any statement, I swiped Weibo before I came to you, this hot search and yesterday's hot search about the real estate exchange have disappeared, I think it's probably all the credit of Zou Wei's wife." "Shirley, I'll go to the bathroom first. Where did you and Dr. Lee meet? β
"You go, he said that he would pick us up in a while, and he would open it directly to your favorite hot pot restaurant, so you can rest assured."
Shen Ji smiled at Liang Yi, picked up his backpack and hurriedly walked out of the classroom.
Shirley's English name was re-given to herself by Liang Yi after graduating from Normal University and working at Yingxing Art Kindergarten, and now her colleagues and some familiar friends, and even kindergarten children will call her like this, this name has long been integrated with her body, so she heard Li Huan call her "Emma" when she called her English name, she had a confused sense of dΓ©jΓ vu, this English name that had been suspended for 7 or 8 years may be the most familiar stranger to her.
Liang Yi flipped out of Weibo and found that the two hot searches about Zou Wei had indeed disappeared, she breathed a long sigh of relief, hoping that there would be no new moths, she didn't want anything about the Zou family to be put on the online platform and be judged by everyone while peeping at her.
But will these two hot searches really be like what Shen Ji said, are Zou Wei's wife Du Ling looking for someone to take them down?
Well...... Shen Ji's guess is actually reasonable, Liang Yi said in his heart.
Du Ling is the only daughter of the owner of the sports equipment brand DU, the brand is a brand founded by Du Ling's father Du Ao when he was young, and he named the brand DU, which means that he hopes that people who use their products can "doyourself", and he hopes that his future children can also be true themselves. On the other hand, DU is also the pinyin of "Du".
Du Ling is the pearl of the Du family. The sports equipment made by their family has gone abroad long before inviting Zou Wei to be the spokesperson, and it has a certain popularity and sales in countries around the world. Du Ling has been a first-class model with excellent appearance and business ability since she was 15 years old, and she only endorses her own brand, so it seems that she does have the ability to help her husband remove the two Weibo hot searches that damage her image.
At 6:10 p.m., Liang Yi received a WeChat message, and Li Huan reported to her that he was waiting at the school gate. If Shen Ji doesn't come back, Liang Yi will have to check if one of her feet is stuck in the toilet and can't pull it out.
However, when she saw Shen Ji again, Liang Yi knew that she didn't have any accidents, she just went to make up a beautiful makeup.
"After going to a super long toilet, you have become 2 or 3 grades more beautiful." Liang Yi took Shen Ji's arm and hurriedly took her out of the teaching building.
"What are you doing in such a hurry? Is that Dr. Lee already waiting at the door? Wait, wait, you're in such a hurry...... I said, you care so much about him, huh? Shen Ji was dragged like a walking twist, and his feet staggered forward, and every step was like a fall.
"It doesn't matter who the other person is, it's always bad for us to be late." Liang Yi narrowed his eyes and replied perfunctorily.
Li Huanyi's car was parked opposite the kindergarten, breaking free from the pile of parents at the entrance of the kindergarten, Liang Yi easily found him standing next to the black car and waiting.
Liang Yi pulled Shen Ji over, beckoned politely to Li Huanyi, and said, "Hello, Doctor Li." β
"Emma, don't be so outward, you can call me by my English name outside the hospital." Li Huan's gentle tone was tinged with a hint of courtesy that didn't fit his current personality, and he saw that Liang Yi didn't accept his proposal, so he planned to have a good relationship with her cousin first.
"Hmm...... This is your cousin. Hello, my name is Li Huanyi. It's Emma's...... A friend from college. Actually, we have met in the hospital, and I am your grandmother's attending doctor, do you remember? β
"I remember, we met in my grandmother's hospital room, hello Dr. Lee." Shen Ji and Li Huan shook hands politely.
"You can call me Edward, so what should I call you?" When talking about the English name, Li Huan deliberately glanced at Liang Yi.
"My name is Shen Ji, Shen of Shen, and Ji of auspiciousness."
The next morning, Liang Yi woke up in Shen Ji's room. Seeing that she was still asleep beside her, she got up and planned to go downstairs to buy breakfast. But as soon as she stepped into Shinji's kitchen, she dismissed the idea of buying breakfast.
Three rows of cartons of milk, a few cartons of cereal, two bags of whole wheat bread, and an unopened bag of high-gluten flour stand neatly on the shelves...... There is a coffee machine on the table next to it, and under the stove is an oven and a dishwasher with a disinfection function.
Then, Liang Yi opened the refrigerator to check, and sure enough, the contents of the refrigerator were more abundant, eggs, ham, bacon, glutinous rice balls, custard buns, barbecued pork buns, lettuce and cherries that were washed and placed in a sealed box......
I thought that this news reporter was born and then switched jobs to become a program director's cousin, who is usually as busy as a dog, and has no time to take care of his stomach. But after observing the "decoration" and "equipment" in her kitchen, it can be inferred that her stomach is unscathed and she is carefully cared for every day, but only if the goods in her kitchen are not decorations.
When Shinji woke up, he smelled the smell of fried eggs, and there was a hint of burnt smell in the fragrance. This unique aroma of fried eggs reminded Shin Ji of an old man, and a picture of the old man secretly frying eggs for her in her university dormitory popped up in her mind.
"Hey! You are blatantly using illegal electrical appliances, and if you are caught by the dormitory manager, you will have to confiscate it, and you will be punished if it is serious. On that day, Shinji had just woken up from his bed in his bedroom, or rather from the smell of fried eggs with a hint of mushy aroma. She looked under the bed and saw only the top of the man's head.
"Then you hurry down and eat it, to prevent me from being caught by the dormitory aunt, hurry up." The old man raised his head, smiled at Shinji, and then stretched out his greasy hand and pretended to wipe it on Shinji's sheets.
Recalling the past, Shen Ji smiled slightly, but deliberately scattered the good morning of his student days in his mind.
She walked to the living room, Liang Yi with an apron was still busy in front of the stove, she looked at her cousin's back and pouted silently, and sighed.
Liang Yi's ears were shrouded in the "booming" sound of the range hood, and if it weren't for the buzzing sound from Shen Ji's electric toothbrush that slipped into Liang Yi's ears, she wouldn't have noticed that Shen Ji was standing next to her.
"Yo! Little Nizi is up? Liang Yi asked kindly.
Shen Ji didn't respond for a while, probably because the tone of her cousin's words was too similar to the old man, she ran to the bathroom and spit expressionlessly, rinsed her mouth, and sorted out her appearance before she went to the kitchen to help Liang Yi bring the breakfast to the living room table.
"Thank you, cousin, it's been a long time since anyone made me breakfast." Shinji had rolled up his sleeves and was ready to feast.
"It's not because you have all the ingredients and equipment here, otherwise I'm also a good woman who can't cook without rice." Liang Yi pushed the two fried poached eggs in front of Shen Ji, "I didn't expect you, the choreographer, to live so nourishingly, don't tell me that your ingredients are all decorations." β
"I usually cook by myself, and no matter how busy I am at work, I will not ravage my stomach. I don't want to die young. Shen Ji took a small piece of fried egg and put it in his mouth, and said with some smugness.
"You chick really knows how to live, no wonder your parents are so relieved that you live outside alone." Liang Yi took a sip of milk and said.
"They still wish I had come out and be independent sooner." Shen Ji took a hard bite of the toast bread that was a little burnt and made a loud crunchy sound from between her teeth, and then she chewed the bread to change the subject, "Anyway, is that Brother Edward trying to chase you?" I see that he was very attentive to you yesterday, and I am your ...... Straight, departmental, cousin, sister was also well entertained by the love house and Wudi. Not only was the car picked up and delivered, but we were also invited to eat a super cool hot pot. β
Liang Yi glanced at her, and said impatiently: "As far as I know, you used to be a reporter on the social page, did I remember wrongly, you are doing entertainment?" β
Shen Ji pretended not to hear the resistance to this topic in his cousin's tone, and asked, "I haven't done it before, but I've also watched entertainment news for more than ten or twenty years...... Eh, that Comrade Edward begged you for a long time yesterday, but you still don't want to sit in the co-pilot, this, you are a bit excessive......" The corners of Shen Ji's mouth crooked, hehe smiled, and continued: "He seems to know that you don't like crab sticks, so he only ordered a small portion and deliberately put it in front of me." Not many people know about your quirk! Shen Ji deliberately said yin and yang, and then his eyes pierced Liang Yi's eyes like an arrow.
But Liang Yi just said calmly: "Li Huanyi was my boyfriend in college, and he had been dating for more than 1 year, and then because he chose to go abroad for further study, I chose to stay in Huadu as a preschool teacher, so I broke up peacefully, and I ...... Very clichΓ© story. She said in a boring tone as if she were summarizing the plot of a bloody TV series with no new ideas, and then she put the bread in her hand into her mouth and rubbed the crumbs between her fingers.
"Wow! So you haven't been in touch for so many years? Well...... I think it should be so, if you have contact, you should have been in the hospital a lot before your grandmother died," Shin Ji's tone became even more serious, "Visiting grandma in the name of meeting a lover, this kind of fame and fortune, Shirley, no, Emma, you must be a smart person to think of it." β
Liang Yi's face finally got a little annoyed, she thought of yesterday in the hot pot restaurant, as soon as Li Huan shouted Emma in front of Shen Ji, and now Shen Ji turned 2 corners when he shouted the name Emma, she wanted to be mad, Shen Ji seemed to be unscrupulously exposing her weaknesses.
However, in the end, she still suppressed her anger and replied coldly: "I haven't been in contact, if I hadn't asked him to do an autopsy on my grandmother this time, I probably wouldn't have been able to touch him again in my life." β
"Yo, listening to your tone, it seems that you really want to renew your relationship with this old friend." Shenji said an affirmative sentence.
Liang Yi's eyes were just about to shake over, and Shen Ji said to himself: "No, no, I don't think so, Mr. Edward was going to send you again after he sent me home last night, but you have to rely on me to squeeze a bed with me, and you avoid being alone with him like this, it seems that you are quite reluctant to reunite?" Or perhaps...... Are you trying to get away with it, and you want to promote it first? I didn't expect you to ...... It's quite scheming! β
Liang Yi put down her chopsticks and hated Shen Ji, seeing her right hand propped up at the bottom of her chin, her eyes rolling, and she looked ill-willed, she felt that she was about to transform into the Bull Demon King, and her nostrils were full of anger.
"Don't just gossip about me, what about you? Are there any new relationships? Liang Yi's tone seemed like revenge.
Shen Ji was a little stunned in an instant, "...... me?" I haven't even had an old relationship, let alone a new one. With that, she stuffed half a poached egg into her mouth.
